On this journey of 480 km, each traveller impacted by {a significant delay|a cancellation attributable to Hainan Airlines} can claim 250€ in payout. This is a right guaranteed by law.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Berlin airport.

The impact of a strike on your Hainan Airlines compensation

A work stoppage by Hainan Airlines's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
